Maxwell Park Campground (Arlington)
Arlington sits right at the junction of US-14 and US-81 in Kingsbury County, and the city runs two campgrounds inside the city limits. Maxwell Park is the in-town one, at 101 North Main Street -- the city describes it as convenient to all downtown activities, which is the whole point of this category. Read the free part carefully, because it is a tier and not the whole park: the GRASS AREA FOR TENT CAMPERS IS FREE. The four camper pads (one 50-amp, three 30-amp) are $10.00 per night for the electricity. So if you are in a tent, or you are self-contained and do not need to plug in, you can stay free; if you want power, it is ten dollars. There is a camper dump station at this park. Two honest gaps: the city's page does not state a stay limit, and it does not say how or where to pay, which is unusual enough that it is worth a phone call rather than an assumption -- do not read 'no stated limit' as 'stay as long as you like.' The town's side of this bargain is that you spend a little money downtown while you are here. Be a good guest and it stays free for the next traveler. Town rules change often and we have not visited -- confirm current rules with the City of Arlington before you go.
